north entrance towards the fron of the queue, i'm in a grey hat. apparently payband people are being let in 30 mins early. pop over and say hello.

Ok, in the tunnel right now, need to be at The Swan at 12.30, then might hop to The Monkey (wearing the appropriate tshirt) before heading down. Will check the thread for updates.

look out for a young man in a grey hat and a cream backpack, pop over and say hello if you see me.

Just checked the World Clock down here in Oz. Looks like some good weather for the gig.I'll be keeping tabs all night so put some stuff on here!

Heard the YCAGWYW choirs rehearsing. Also, signs are telling passers by that both the 6th and the 13th are videotaped for commercial purposes.

The day is here!!

Hi guys
We will be there from paris next 13....
At what time have we to be at (wich?) tdoor to be sure to be at the best place?
(Have tier 3 tickets)

The sun is shining, the temperature is warm. It's going to be a great day!! Getting the train into London mid afternoon. Can't wait!

Vaccines are a good band. You've got a couple of good ones with them & Gary Clark Jr. Wish I was there!

Would say latest 12:00pm at the North Entrance. And then run as fast as you can to the Main Stage (The Great Oak Stage) .....

See this map on the BST website (PDF).

Would appreciate any info too: will be at the 13th show - coming from far-far away with my two boys (9, 11) so this time would not be able to push to the front (Tier 3 tickets). I guess I would like to compromise between the urge to be "as close as possible" and getting a spot where the boys could enjoy the show but not being at the same spot for 6 hours even before the show starts (definitely not with the draconian food/beverage/toilet policy and arrangement...).

WOULD APPRECIATE ANY 2 CENTS REGARDING HOW CAN WE MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT. Please share your today's experience...

A good comment on the BST facebook page regarding yesterdays show problems...could be useful to know for todays crowd...

"When will there be a statement about the mess at Bon Jovi? 45 minute bar queues, Contactless and Paybands failing leaving people with nothing to pay for drinks with, useles 'technology support staff' whose advice was "we know the Paybands dont work, sorry - youll have to get your mates to buy you drinks", insufficient food and bars, the fact that if you were in the Unwind Lounge you could sneak easily into the Gold Circle without a Gold Circle ticket, the doors that opened an hour late with no word from security, sound system that in the gold circle at least was so quiet you could hear everyones conversations around you. Thank GOD Bon Jovi were great and my girls were with me. God help anyone going today. BST Social Media team seem to refuse to respond to the criticism here and keep posting inane updates.
